Held Battles the Chip Leader
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko opened to 3,500 from the button and Justus Held defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 10?7?6? flop leading to the 9? turn. Held bet 3,500 and Kirichenko made the call.
Held bet again for 9,000 on the Q? river and was once again called by Kirichenko. Held tabled 7?6? for two pair and Kirichenko promptly mucked.
